Where Sight Becomes Insight

“Where Sight Becomes Insight” is created on unstretched canvas, a deliberate choice that reflects the raw, unbounded nature of the theme itself. Just as the canvas is free from the rigidity of a frame, the painting explores a perception that is not confined to the limits of the physical eye.

This work examines the profound dialogue between outer sight and inner understanding. The dark silhouette represents the human self confronting the vastness of existence. The prominent outer eye, open and alert, symbolises our engagement with the visible world, its colours, forms, and shifting realities. In contrast, the radiant inner eye, glowing like a small sun, embodies intuition, memory, and the quiet light of awareness that shapes how we interpret our experiences.

The interplay of fiery textures and cosmic tones reflects the tension between what is seen and what is known. The radiance of the inner eye pushes outward, suggesting that insight has the power to illuminate not only our inner world but also the universe we move through.

Rendered on an unstretched canvas, the painting carries a sense of immediacy and freedom, echoing the idea that true vision emerges when sight expands beyond physical boundaries.

At its core, this piece invites viewers to recognise a timeless truth: we truly see only when the outer eye and the inner eye work together.
